new foods

we decided recently to try some new foods. it's been a lot of fun, the girls have been in the kitchen a lot helping mom cook, and generally enjoying the outcomes. some of our recent experiments have included:


green cauliflower (which we ate with an amazingly rich hollandaise sauce),

 fried rice (sorry, mostly i don't have pictures),

dragon fruit (soft texture (like kiwi), earthy flavor (like jicama)),

green pepper casserole (with lots of cool veggies, this isn't exactly new, but the girls helped a lot with it, so i thought it deserved mention),

schnitzel, which afton called snitch-el, she LOVED it btw.



butternut squash soup (again, just new to the girls, it was a HUGE hit too)

 and cereal:

malachi sure loves being a big kid!!! he's a great eater, and always wants whatever the big people are eating (good luck!)

bon appetit!

ps, we had borscht for dinner after writing this post, again, not new, but really, who eats beets?
